| Popis: | Background A number of papers have been published comparing the safety and efficacy of day case and inpatient anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date. The aim of this review was to determine if day case total shoulder arthroplasty (length of stay Methods The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviewers were queried for publications utilizing keywords that were pertinent to total shoulder arthroplasty, day case, outpatient and inpatient, clinical or functional outcomes, and complications. In order to determine the quantitative impact of day case total shoulder arthroplasty on readmission and revision rate, a meta-analysis was performed on articles that observed 30- or 90-day readmission or revision. Results Eight articles were found to be suitable for inclusion in the present study which included 6103 day case total shoulder arthroplasty and 147,463 inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty. Following meta-analysis, there was no significant difference among patients who underwent day case total shoulder arthroplasty compared to inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty regarding revision rates (OR: 1.001; 95% CI: 0.721–1.389; p = 0.995) and 30-day readmission rates (OR: 0.940; 95% CI: 0.723–1.223; p = 0.646). In contrast, patients who underwent day case total shoulder arthroplasty were less likely to have a readmission within 90 days compared to their inpatient counterparts (OR: 0.839; 95% CI: 0.704–0.999; p = 0.049). Two out of eight studies reported comparable baseline clinical characteristics among groups, while five studies reported significant differences and one study did not provide information regarding clinical characteristics, such as medical comorbidities or American Society of Anaesthesiologists'(ASA) score. No significant difference among groups was found in all or almost all studies regarding mortality rates, and rates of cardiac complications, cerebrovascular events, thromboembolic events, pulmonary complications, cardiac complications, and nerve complications. Finally, results were rather conflicting regarding the correlation of day case total shoulder arthroplasty to the rate of surgical site infections. Conclusions This study showed that day case total shoulder arthroplasty might lead to similar rates of mortality, complications, revisions, and readmissions compared to inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty when used in a selected population of younger, healthier, and more male patients. In contrast, there was no consensus regarding the impact of day case total shoulder arthroplasty on the rate of surgical site infections. Finally, further research of higher quality is required to establish patient demographic criteria, ASA score, or comorbidity index cut off that might be used to define day case-treated patients who seem to have equivalent outcomes compared to inpatient-treated patients. Level of evidence: Systematic review of level III studies (lowest level included). |
